Not trying to be ignorant or start any arguments, I just don't see why people want widescreen when you're watching a movie. Why? Wouldn't you just prefer a movie that fits your entire TV screen, with no black bars, so you can see more details?

easy, because someone made a conscious decision when the movie was shot and things are happening in all 4 corners, when you force it to fit to your TV you are cropping some of that stuff off. Sometimes it is not important what gets cut, other times it is. Let's face it, if you where meant to see the person sneaking on the side, or the expression of the person that was left on the floor because you now only see the talker and not the listener you lose some of that movie.
